If Palestinians have a right to armed resistance against the Jews because of a so-called 75 year occupation, it would seem that the Jews have an even greater right to armed resistance against 1400 years of Islamic supremacy, race laws, massacres, and oppression. Real oppression.

Zionism is intrinsic to Judaism. The most important Jewish holidays, like Sukkot, are land based. Our festivals are pilgrimage festivals. Pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The pilgrimage festival is called a Chag. The Arabic word Haj is a cognate of Chag. It means pilgrimage to Mecca.
Chag Sukkot Sameach.

People who spend all their time trying to make Jews look bad instead of actually helping Palestinians will not be remembered as anything but heartless attention hogs.
But so cool and radical!
They've been at this for over 2 years. How many people have they saved?

Exactly. When you are trying to subjugate a minority that gained freedom, and you butcher minority kids to start a war, you are obviously not the Black Panthers.

“One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”
But one man’s terrorist kills Jewish kids at a peaceful music festival, and another man’s terrorist blows up the British high command to free his people from 2000 years of oppression.

Supporting ultra right-wing dictatorships and monarchies in their war against the Jews is not the progressive take you think it is.

In 1948 we achieved self-determination. We terminated the colonial foreign domination of our land and ended the occupation. We fought many racist regimes, and continue to fight the oppressor.
Zionism is resistance.

Jewish Supremacy: When Jews resist centuries of White supremacist and Muslim supremacist oppression.

The European and Middle Eastern colonizers, actual colonizers, see perhaps the most successful indigenous uprising in history and it makes them nervous.
If Zionists can rebel and build an amazing country, so can other oppressed people.
That's what it leads to. Freedom for the oppressed.

Antisemites always have that smirk.

Zionism is a civil rights movement. Zionism is a national liberation movement.
Zionism is resistance.
Vive la résistance!

European and Middle Eastern conquerors killed millions upon millions of indigenous people in their bloody conquests. Including millions of Jews.
But when Jews dare to rebel against the imperialists, they cry and they scream 'genocide'.

For the historically impaired: Anti-Semitism From the German Antisemitismus, which was coined in 1879 by German political agitator Wilhelm Marr to replace Judenhass ("Jew-hatred") to make hatred of the Jews seem rational…” Wiktionary

Zionism is a revolutionary indigenous uprising. The Jews fought the Turks, the British, and the Arabs for freedom from 2000 years of massacres, ghettos, and race laws in Europe and the Middle East.

When we rebelled in 1948, we offered to share the land with the oppressor. They responded with 77 years of genocidal war.
We were oppressed for 2000 years. We rebelled.
Our former overlords need to choose peace.

We were oppressed for 2000 years. We rebelled in 1948. We decolonized our indigenous land in 1948. We offered to share the land with the colonizer. They responded with endless war.
Leave us alone and there will be peace. Enough.
